Cloudy and no blue about? You close to Inverness? (8)
I believe the answer is:
nebulous
'cloudy' is the definition.
(nebulous means cloudy or vague)
'no blue about? you close to inverness?' is the wordplay.
'about?' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'about' mean this).
'you' becomes 'u' (commonly used in online communication).
'close to' indicates one should take the final letters (the close/ending of).
The last letter of 'inverness' is 's'.
'no'+'blue'='noblue'
'noblue' anagrammed gives 'nebulo'.
'nebulo'+'u'+'s'='NEBULOUS'
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for nebulous that I've seen before include "Vague, lacking a distinct shape" , "Cloudlike; vague" , "Cloudy; hazy" , "Indistinct and vague" , "Vague and formless" .)
